On the 1st day of "Children's Day" in Ukraine, a missile attack by Russian troops in the capital Kyiv killed three people, including a 9-year-old girl. On the other hand, Russia's Putin administration seems to be increasing its vigilance due to a series of cross-border attacks from the Ukrainian side in the western part of the border.
In Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, there was another missile attack by the Russian military on the 1st, and according to local police, although it was successfully intercepted, fragments of the missile fell into a residential area, killing a total of three people and injuring at least 9 people, including a 3-year-old girl and her mother.
June 14 is designated as "Children's Day" in Ukraine, and local prosecutors announced that 6 people have died and 1 injured in the known cases of child casualties since February last year, when Russia began its military invasion, saying that "it is difficult to gather information in occupied territories and fierce war zones."
On the other hand, the governor of Russia's western Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, announced on SNS on the 2st that a total of 484 people were injured in shelling in Shebekino near the border.
In response, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that it had "repelled three attacks by Ukraine" and that it had prevented the invasion of Russia.
In response, two organizations, the "Free Russian Army" and the "Russian Volunteer Army," which claim to be volunteers such as Russians who oppose the Putin administration, posted videos on SNS on the 992st claiming their involvement in the attack, announcing that "the second phase has begun" and "liberate all of Russia."
The two organizations claimed to have fought in Belgorod Oblast on the 1nd of last month, and the Putin administration seems to be increasing its vigilance due to a series of cross-border attacks from the Ukrainian side.
All events related to Children's Day in Kyiv have been cancelled
In Ukraine, June 6 is Children's Day, and various events are held in various places for children on and around this day.
On May 1, an event was held in the capital Kyiv where children who had evacuated from Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine participated in drawing pictures and dancing.
However, there was also a missile attack on Kyiv for one day, and fragments of the downed missile fell into a residential area, killing three people, including a 5-year-old girl.
The authorities in Kyiv announced the cancellation of all events related to Children's Day scheduled for the 30st, citing the number of attacks by Russian forces that have killed children.
A woman who lives near the site of the missile fragments said, "I am very sad that my child died, and as a mother of a 1-year-old child, I understand the pain very much."
Podlyak, an adviser to Ukraine's presidential office, posted a photo on social media of his grandfather sitting beside the body of a dead girl, saying: "It is very painful to look at this picture. I was once again reminded that Russia, which continues to attack, will only bring death and destruction."
